You don't have to preach honesty to men with a creative purpose. A genuine craftsman will not adulterate this product. The reason isn't because duty says he shouldn't, but because passion says he couldn't.

It is perfectly true that that government is best which governs least. It is equally true that that government is best which provides most.
